Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact

                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                             RS 14613

The purpose of this resolution is to amend Senate Rule 47. 
Effectively it deletes (b).  Without a doubt the Constitution of
the State of Idaho is always the overriding instrument as
compared with the Senate Rules, and the rules of the Senate do
not require that statement.  Additionally, the resolution
provides for the Senate to reassert its right to establish by
rule its policies and procedures without deferring its rule
making power to another legislative body and the executive
branch.
